Im intending to remove the filter, do the amp off mod, add a direct to sensor mutistage peltier cooling finger and water cooling (to move the cooling fan to off-scope) to my 300D. Mike extends the sensor out of the cam to a sealed chamber, but I intend to leave the sensor in place, and surround the cam in a sealed bag, suck all the air out of it and add lots of desicant to stop frosting. The FR reducer on the front will air seal all, and a dew heater on the FR will stop dew at that transition to ambient temp.

The motivation is the inky black 1 hr dark he produced with cooling and amp off mods. It will take time, and be risky, but the cost aint bad with Jaycars help ;-).

I just need one punk to tell me why this is impossible, or a complete waste of time (considering the reward of mild success).
never know until you try, but some advice you will need a heater of sorts to stop condensation in the filter/sealed lens area
